New York Times Guide to Grunge Slang
There was a point in time when grunge seemed like a cooler-than-thou club of plaid sporting Seattle-ites. So when the New York Times came knocking on Sub Pop's door wanting to know if grunge had its own slang, label employee Megan Jasper got in the ultimate prank and gave the reporter a list of fake slang that ended up in a 1992 feature article. Some highlights:
-- Bloated, big bag of floatation: Drunk
-- Bound-and-hagged: Staying home on Friday or Saturday night
-- Fuzz: Heavy wool sweaters
-- Lamestain: Uncool person
-- Swingin' on the flippity-flop: Hanging out
-- Wack slacks: Old ripped jeans
